YCSO 2025 Holiday Food Drive and List of Free Food Distribution Sites

Published on December 16, 2025

There are many residents we serve and protect in Yavapai County who are struggling to put food on the table during these challenging times. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office is conducting a holiday food drive to help these individuals and families. 

For the rest of 2025, YCSO is collecting NON-PERISHABLE food items at these four locations, Monday through Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm (excluding holidays Nov 27-28 and Dec 25):

Main Office lobby at 255 E Gurley St in Prescott

YCSO substation lobbies: 4155 W Outer Loop Rd (at Williamson Valley Rd), 12606 Main St in Mayer (old red brick schoolhouse building), 2830 N Commonwealth Dr in Camp Verde (at the Criminal Justice facility near the jail and courts).

All food collected will be transferred to local area food banks for distribution. We also encourage residents to donate food directly to your local food bank. 

We encourage those who need help this holiday season to visit one of these food distribution sites:
